But the danger in Mexico was bigger than anticipated company bosses. Harold Soyinka faces risk of life not from the drug cartel but backstabbing by greedy colleagues.
Harold is an average person satisfied with his career and happy with his earnings.

The company sends a professional to rescue Harold and they both walk through disturbing situations to come back safe.
